PAG-ASA’S BAD NEWS ON RAINS, FLOODS: PAG-ASA (or the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration), has bad news for all of us: there will be more severe rains between now until the first quarter of 2012 because of La Nina. This would mean more flooding and, therefore, more death and destruction for many Filipinos.

It may be purely coincidental, but then, this is what Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, predicted in Matthew 7:24-27 of the Bible. To believers of Jesus as God and Savior, the only way to fight these calamities is through the way He has prescribed: read the Bible and obey Him at all times.

SPIRITUAL REMEDY VS. RAINS, FLOODS: All the other scientific remedies have been tried worldwide, but nothing ever succeeded in either stopping the rains, floods and winds, or the death and destruction brought by them. This time, let us try the spiritual remedy: let us read the Bible daily, meditate on it day and night, and then follow it everyday.

This is the reason why we put up a nationwide movement for daily Bible reading and praying, and those interested can call me at 0922 833 43 96, or email me at batasmauricio@yahoo.com.

EGYPT RIOTS, ONE SIGN OF THE END TIMES: One more of the signs of the end times, as Jesus disclosed in Matthew 24 of the Bible? I mean, the news that riots are once again erupting in Egypt, occasioned by attacks against Christians in the region, with the latest violence killing 19 and injuring scores of others. Jesus said His believers will be hated and attacked during the last days.

SO, WHO IS INEFFICIENT & INCOMPETENT? Former Economic Planning Secretary Solita “Winnie” Monsod may have been misquoted, but it is a cause for grave alarm that she said that the reasons why the Aquino government’s public-private-partnership flagship programs had not been at the very least moving are “inefficiency and incompetence”. So, who is inefficient and incompetent, Professor Winnie?

CONDOLENCES: We condole with the family of Gregorio “Ka Roger” Rosal, who died of a heart attack on June 22, 2011 yet. Ka Roger, the spokesman of the Communist Party of the Philippines, was gracious enough to have granted interviews with me while I was still a host of a TV station several years back, and I can confirm that he was an intellectual giant in his organization.

CAGAYAN DE ORO MURDER & POLICE BRUTALITY: While Cagayan De Oro City must grieve for the death of its Police Officer 3 Marvin Nallano, it is not enough to file murder charges against the confessed killer, inmate Eduardo Ayento. Any investigation of the incident must also look into Ayento’s claim that he killed Nallano because of police brutality---the police officer allegedly first assaulted Ayento with a rattan stick on the head.

GOD’S BLESSINGS, PART IV: Additional God’s blessings for those who listen to, and obey, Him, from Deuteronomy 28:1-14 of the Bible: “… The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you…”
